Is the verb transitive or intransitive Even with both doors shut your CD player sounds too loud?

Here's why:

* Transitive verbs require a direct object. They act upon something. For example: "She closed the door." ("Door" is the direct object)

* Intransitive verbs do not require a direct object. They simply describe an action or state of being. In the sentence, "sounds" describes the state of the CD player, not an action it performs on something else.
